Multiple reports of dirty rooms on arrival, housekeeping slow or incomplete, bugs/fleas and overflowing trash in pool area; a few guests noted clean rooms but overall cleanliness is a clear pain point.
Service

Mixed service feedback: some praise for individual staff/receptionist, but several complaints about long waits at check-in, slow housekeeping responses, poor information from staff and issues with accommodating late check-out or accessibility.
Location

Consistently described as conveniently located and close to the airport; location is one of the stronger, frequently mentioned positives.

Pool, hot tub and pool-area setting receive strong praise and are major draws; breakfast is also frequently praised. Some amenity maintenance (pool area cleanliness, hours) and internet problems were noted.
Value for Money
6.5
Opinions split: several guests called it good value or great for the price, while others felt rooms weren’t worth higher nightly rates or balked at the $100 deposit.
Food and Beverage
8.7
Breakfast is repeatedly described as very good or better than many hotels—this is one of the clearest strengths in reviews.
Overall Experience

Overall impressions are mixed: many guests enjoyed the pool, breakfast and location, while others were strongly dissatisfied by cleanliness, room condition or service—resulting in an average, slightly above-target experience.

It was okay
Pros:

Conveniently located

Cons:

The pool not being separated from the rooms and being in the middle of the hotel made it noisy. There were no garbage cans in the room other than in the bathroom. And the garbage can in the pool area was overflowing.

Pros:

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

When we arrived our room was dirty when we checked in. Went back to the front desk waited like 45 mins just to get another room. I don't understand why they didn't do that in the first place.
